The persecution of Christians is relabeled as a victory of Love. It reminded me of the Roman Coliseum. The pagans cheer at the persecution of the disciples of Jesus Christ. Persecution in our land has reached the next level.

I thought it prudent to dig a little into the Supreme's opinion, known now as Obergefell.

Tracing the Roots of the Supreme's opinion in Obergefell

The Word of God clearly declares what took place in our land in Romans 1:22.

"Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools(Romans 1:22)." So one conclusion is abundantly clear at the outset: the Supremes did not look to God's Word as any type of authority for the opinion they wrote. They made no reference to it at all because, for them, the Word of God has no authority in any arena of life whatsoever. The question is, what did they look to as a competent relevant authority for the decision they made? The answer, when we drill down, is that they relied upon the supposed authority of the so-called "science" of psychology.

What the Supremes relied upon was the Amici Curiae brief from the American Psychological Association, the American Psychiatric Association, the American Psychoanalytic Association, and the national Association of Social Workers, among other Medical Associations. That 50-page brief stated its conclusions as "Homosexuality Is A Normal Expression of Human Sexuality, Is Generally Not Chosen, and Is Highly Resistant To Change… Gay Men and Lesbians Form Stable, Committed Relationships That Are Equivalent to Heterosexual Relationships." That is a huge assertion. So we have to ask how the American Psychological Association reached this conclusion. Prior to December 14, 1973, their desk reference manual, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders II (DSM II), considered same-sex attractions to be disordered. This mental illness was listed in under the label "Homosexuality." So what changed?

Sodomite terrorists hijacked the APA to change the Diagnostic and Statistics Manual (DSM) on December 14, 1973. The history of this is solid; you can read it LiveLeak.com - "How Homosexual Terrorists Got Homosexuality Removed From the American Psychiatric Association." "While activists were terrorizing psychiatrists, [including physical assault of one Psychologist who opposed their agenda] the APA's Board of Trustees was being stacked with members sympathetic to the pro sodomy cause…. An article appearing in Psychiatric News about this time recalls that pro sodomy activists were beginning to speak of unyielding psychiatrists as 'war criminals', with obvious implications."

Possibly in fear for their safety and certainly wearied by constant harassment, on December 15, 1973, the Board of Trustees of the American Psychiatric Association capitulated to the demands of the radicals…[one of the sodomite terrorists] Barbara: "It never was a medical decision—and that's why I think the action came so fast. After all, it was only three years from the time that feminists and gays first zapped the APA at a behavior therapy session to the time that the Board of Trustees voted in 1973 to approve removing homosexuality from the list of mental disorders. It was a political move." The APA was thoroughly intimidated. In 1974, after the APA's vote, [another of the sodomite terrorists] Katz Gittings brags, "That's how far we've come in ten years. Now, we even have the American Psychiatric Association running scared."

So the change to accept sodomy as normal was never about the so called "science": it was threats, intimidation, physical violence, stacking the board of directors—in other words, it was a political decision having nothing to do with the facts of the matter. So a very important question is, why would the highest court rely upon decisions which were not essentially based on facts?

Why did the court even rely upon psychologists as experts? And here is where we drill down to the deepest roots of what has happened in our land - the Psychologization of law in America. Instead of law being based upon the fixed absolute standard of the Creator, the Laws of Nature and Nature's God (the Bible), we have been subjected to the new high priests and priestesses of the religion of Psychology. From where did these new high priests come? From where did their authority derive? Why should anyone believe what they propound? What took place was a revolution in thought on the question "what is man?"
